"For us it is the very powerful combination: Warren Buffett, China and electric cars. Latest move by BYD into Lithium space in order to secure supply of strategic commodity confirms our observations and investment thesis. In our educational exercise on this blog we are privileged to learn from the Master himself."
"In time of quants, flash crashes and cybertraders good old common sense and understanding of basic instincts and emotions will keep us cool and our investments in our publishing business save. Yes, we will be talking about Warren Buffett. Most of the people these days will spend more time selecting the plasma TV than stocks they own. We call it "plasma TV effect". We are still wondering - why is it so difficult for us to get rid of the warm herd feeling and it is so easy to chase the stocks which are going up? "Buy when nobody wants it" - we reminded to ourselves this summer and enjoyed the party. With plasma TV we are always happy when it is on Sale, with stocks it is so difficult to buy, when they are down. Warren Buffett says: "Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy And Greedy When Others Are Fearful." What makes him different? He is able to act as he says. He was buying BYD stake when the world was falling apart in Fall 2008 and his investment of 232 million USD made an incredible 1 billion dollars paper profit by Summer 2009.
Please do not get us wrong: in order to act like this you need to be Warren Buffett, that is why we are always following him. And another very important notice: do not forget to check the plasma TV which is on sale - it should be showing video in a high definition and with a 3D sound."
TNR Gold responds to "cyber trading" activity, about which we have wrote a few days ago. Stock is recovering now, but Scotia was still hitting at every bid with 500 shares even yesterday. Who would like to to punish the company and suppress the price of this junior? Is it mysterious hedge fund specialised in under 20 mil market caps? Is it Big Oil crashing competition from alternative energy or somebody just would like to squeeze a cheap settlement from stubborn company insisting on its property rights - we do not know and will not speculate about it. We have plenty of facts to write about, when we are talking about this company.
Apparently, company is in the middle of its IPO financing efforts, according to the NR. Cyber trading does not help, but company is on track. Trips are scheduled to China and Europe - our take is that company is carefully considering its best options with available partners from lithium end users.
"Non-Executive Chairman and major shareholder Kirill Klip plans to participate in this financing along with other insiders." - insiders are stepping in and, according to RCR research note on TNR Gold, Kirill Klip holds 23.5% of TNR Gold already. He bought recently a large block of shares in TNR Gold - 3.3 mil at 0.21CAD in July filed on SEDI. All insiders and management are holding 50% in the company, according to IR.
News about China are interesting, there are a few weeks of holidays normally starting in mid September - we guess it maybe the reason for a delay in closing of financing. Then again, who would like to jump into the bad marriage - IPO is very important for this company and Mariana is shaping nicely according to the latest presentation. We like to see very interesting Potash grade at Mariana among Lithium and other rare metals in International Lithium portfolio.
Kirill Klip is involved in another junior miner in Canada - Canada Zinc Metals, that company is closing financing now with Tongling - Chinese copper and Zinc giant will be holding more than 30% of the company. We can guess that TNR Gold and International Lithium have some introductions in China already as Canada Zinc Metals holds a "strategic investment stake in TNR Gold".
Please, do not forget, that we own stocks we are writing about and have position in these companies. We are not providing any investment advise on this blog and there is no solicitation to buy or sell any particular company here.
